This is Hacker Public Radio Episode 3,761 from Monday 2 January 2023.
Today's show is entitled, HPR Community News for December 2022.
It is part of the series HPR Community News.
It is hosted by HPR Volunteers and is about 45 minutes long.
It carries an explicit flag.
The summary is, HPR Volunteers talk about shows released and comments posted in December 2022.
Hi everybody, my name is Ken Falon and you're listening to another episode of Hacker Public
Radio Today.
It's community news for December 2022 and joining me as ever is Dave.
Hello everybody, I got an introduction this time after the introduction.
Yes.
Wow, luxury luxury.
I'm forgetting how to do this.
A stick with the script can stick with the script.
Okay, HPR is community podcast where the shows are submitted by people very much like you.
The community news is where the two junters come out with their closet and put down their mobs
and go through all the shows in the last month.
The comments that there have been onto them on those shows.
I've deal with anything that's been on the mailing list or has been happening in background.
So, Dave, can you introduce the new host, please?
Well, take long because they haven't got any this time.
I'm so sorry.
Ouch.
That hurts.
We had a call for shows open as well.
Still do, actually.
Strange actually this month.
This is the first year where we are.
This is where this list closing off the year.
So, don't know what it is.
I think there's been a lot more podcasts around since since the COVID pandemic.
Yes.
I joined the podcast, hash podcast thing on MasterDone.
And there's a load to them popping up all the time.
They're not real podcasts in the sense the purest sense.
Like, there are people doing stuff, you know, so yeah.
Something to do with it.
An RSS feed and creative comments license is all I need, Dave.
And now.
Okay.
Should we go through the shows.
First one was multi capacitors for the masses by one of Spoons.
Yes, multi partners.
Multi partners.
Sorry.
Yes, no, no.
It's a word I've never seen before.
Toys talk of modern science, fusion, electricity and all that sort of thing.
Very interesting.
Yes.
It was the thing I had no concept of tool.
I do follow Robert Murray Smith.
Though I don't actually, you know, watch his YouTube things a lot.
I just got too many.
I've got 300 in my list of subscribe thingy.
So it's self-taffy.
But yeah, he's really interesting.
He's got a lot of interesting engineering skills.
I don't fully understand this.
I think you can produce fusion of some sort.
Using the methods that he's talking about.
I did look it up a little bit, but I don't fully understand it.
It's not a usable thing that you could put energy in and get more out.
As far as I understand it.
She was less than one.
It's kind of appropriate, actually, because there was quite a lot of discussions
and talk about fusion.
Yep.
This month.
Yes.
There were no comments on that one.
So we'll move on to the next.
Which was Hukas dos series batch file batch file variables nested batch files.
More on dos.
This time using variables in batch files and nested batch files.
So there was one comment from HyperNike forbum.
Thank you very much, Hukas for this interesting series.
I really enjoyed learning about this old OS.
Also, I wanted to add that you can use a call command to create a forbum.
Using a file like this, ask echo off, call on top, call percent zero, go to top.
So yeah, that's the dos.
Yeah, yeah.
That would bring many systems in these, I'm sure.
Oh, Kevin O'Brien.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm not reading this one.
Kevin O'Brien says, in reply, you are most welcome.
I'm glad you liked it.
It seems that people enjoy this series for the most part.
Very good. Yeah, it's good to know about good to know about.
It's a delving into the deep dark history of operating systems.
Yeah, good to be aware of.
Exactly.
The next show was the commission used for last month and then floater to our resident squirrel in residence.
Said freedom versus free, just use BSD or as a squirrel say, open BSD.
But Ken is right, good point Ken. Excellent.
Glad to know I'm right.
I'm going to copy and paste that onto a t-shirt.
Yep, yep.
Very good.
My wife might have a few comments, something to say about that.
Put that in you.
Maybe the kids too.
I don't know.
Is there a lie to do that?
So the next day we had a show called from myself called battery.
There was about the Wikipedia article on a battery.
And this may seem very, very strange that I'm doing something like this.
But it is actually one of the syllabus items for getting your common European amateur radio license.
So it's one of those things and it's kind of a building block because the next show will build on this and the next show will build on that show.
That's simple enough on. We will continue on.
And if there are any other hands or electronic engineers or hardware hacker people out there who would like to take one of these individual topics as a show or you're there thinking, hey, I am struggling for content.
There's a whole whole series, a whole complete list of things on that list from resistors,
the integrated circuits, the whole range electrical safety, the whole gambit of stuff.
So if you have any knowledge and it doesn't have to be expert level knowledge, it just needs to be knowledge to go up to the level of introduction, middle or past your advanced amateur radio license,
then that's, I would say, entry level college course and electronics is kind of where you'd be.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's interesting.
We didn't go too far when I was doing physics at school, but we definitely covered batteries and that was quite long time ago.
So they have changed a lot in that time, I think.
Yeah, so you get in touch and we can discuss the syllabus, what you want to peel off and what you want to include on this series.
At some point we'll have an article or a web page on the amateur radio section describing this.
So then if you're doing your homework for the course, then you can jump to the particular sections and download these shows,
which are all going to be creative comments, so you can use them and give them to your friends and etc etc.
Very good, very good. And we have the hit here news, news for the community by the community.
This is by some guy in the internet and it was ransomware, malware, fishing and security breaches.
So a good up-to-date process all up-to-date on the various different leaks and yeah all sorts of hospital data leaks and yeah.
It's important to do this, it's really hard to keep up with it, all that's going on.
So it's usually have somebody to sort of point the way and really appreciate this.
Very helpful.
Yes, fantastic stuff, thank you Scotty.
Avent of code, they want for Daniel Persons and I'm wondering how he was doing the Avent of Code, which is a series of challenges that give you to you in the month of December.
And you can solve them using the programming language of your choice.
And Daniel has been following along with this links to his YouTube channel, are in there.
Do you want to do your trades? Come on. Yeah, we'll do yes.
Trace says fun with advent of code, also known as AOC.
Thank you for sharing. I decided to do AOC this year to refine my Python skills. I'm working on day eight this morning.
Some have been more challenging than others, but I've learned new skills in each one.
The leaderboard is intimidating, however, for folks who are competitive and have friends who want to participate.
You can join private leaderboards to show how you rank against each other.
So I'm quite so intimidating. If anyone's even curious, you should give it a try.
Yeah, love to have the spirit. I'm to be able to do something.
I know, I know. I did enjoy following one or two possibly two of Daniel's YouTube's.
And the, well, the first one was relatively straightforward to, you could see ahead, but I could see that it was going to get not so not so simple further on down the road.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, so I just too visited to do it again to that one at the moment.
Yeah, these, these advent to things are good. There's a poll one as well, which is, which is also challenges, but the solutions for each one as well.
So I'm a little bit suggested ways through through them and stuff. So yeah, cool.
Okay, the following day, we had Archer 702 teasing us with the pencil.
And I have vowed never again to purchase any products from, from PM64, not because of PM64, but because of the,
Texas duties and my incredible bad luck with the products.
I know I looked at this and thought, oh, that looks really nice. I don't really need one, but I could see as the show went on that there would be advantages to have it.
Having a thing that, uh, soldering on, you could just sort of carry around and very lightweight and stuff like that.
So we connected to run, but, you know, it's still really, really cool. And then I went looking for prices. Oh, prices got, oh, if you're in Europe, then the price is massive.
All right, that's it. That's the end of that one.
Yeah, that's a bit of a pity. But, um, yeah, I'm going to foster them because we've got a stand there. It should be in the show lots.
Yep. And, um, I hope to at least give them my phone and keyboard just to see that, you know, a quick sanity check.
Is it the keyboard that's dodgy or, or what?
I mean, let's see.
Well, yes, yes. Good luck. Good luck with that.
Yeah, I just should say the show is amazingly detailed. I really, really admire the amount of work that went into it.
I just wanted to. Yeah, absolutely. Yes, we look forward to the show. The notes, the notes are stunning. There's notes are so detailed. So thank you very much for all that effort.
Excellent. Excellent show. Arture 72. Well, don't carry on.
Uh, following the CPU info. How to get CPU info from Linux and uh, my turn is that?
Or yours. I think it's mine. Uh, Zolloster says a tool with a very detailed information about cash configuration on CPUs.
This tool is displaying valuable detailed information about the CPU and system topology.
And it's open in dash mpi.org projects blah, blah, blah, blah, links in the show notes.
And it gives tons of output formats in text S skillful vector graphics pngpdf and so on.
And I was also thinking about the old venerable LSHW.
Which yes, there's a number of ways to do this on there. Yeah.
Yep. I'm not completely empty speed. Used improbably, but uh, they fall in my head. So yeah, good to have these alerts and pointers.
So, uh, our resident squirrel had dinner with some humans and discussed the topic.
So this is, uh, Zen culture too, obviously.
I like this show. Uh, his shows tend to, uh, become conversations.
Yes. Yes. And it's good to take me. Does it, does it well, too? I think.
Yeah. I'd, uh, I'd love to be there with a beverage of choice, uh, sitting around, said fire or whatever.
And, uh, be able to respond and discuss in an open and friendly manner.
Oh, quite, yes, yes, yes.
Not all opinions are necessarily agreed with, but that's not like that's the nature of life, isn't it?
Yes. Yes.
And again, the following day, we had Zen Flutter 2, who, uh, squirrels give to HPR, a modified bash potter, uh, to do something different.
So, uh, this bash potter, one of the, uh, link, one of the, uh, programs written by the link,
is one of the links, link, textual fame. And, uh, heavily modified by Zen Flutter 2. And I think, uh, I ran chess
Griffin's version of bash potter for years.
Mm-hmm.
Is that mash potter?
Yeah.
I think it was, yeah, yeah, I, I have, but I did, uh, use it a bit.
Actually, I, I, before I saw that, I'd hack my own quite a lot, um, and, uh, yeah.
It's, uh, it's a, it's a very clever thing, um, uh, uh, uh, uh, and it's extremely elegant and simple.
And it's original for exactly.
But it, it, it was for, uh, an RSS world that was different from what we have now.
So you, you do need to hack it to, to, to, uh, to correspond to today's world, but yeah, good, good for Zen Flutter doing this one.
Exactly.
Delta ray it back with making your own parts.
They've got a 3D printer, useful for making custom parts.
And he modeled it in Blender, some of the stuff, and then went on to open use OpenScat.
I think some of these parts are pretty cool.
They do, don't they? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, his pictures are good, I thought they were very impressive.
I think they're on his own site, are they? I can't remember whether we've got them or not.
Anyway, it doesn't matter.
But yeah, they need to have their own pieces on such it.
Yeah, yeah.
I tweaked the links to make them, so you didn't just disappear off the edge of the...
Well, I'm sure you did.
Yeah, yep, yep.
So I'm just looking at them.
And they're like, original, yeah, no, they're not the original.
It's like you tweaked, but you can see the full one if you click on the thing you under me.
Yeah, but it's very cool.
It's, I'm just trying to get back into 3D printing, so this is good.
I don't, I don't have space for such, but we'll see.
I'm a middle of reorganizing here, so.
Well, yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't have space either, but somewhere around there.
I keep sort of pushing other things aside.
So, Aruta, it's Friday, we have a show from Aruta, and this one's about southern Arizona,
close to the Mexican border.
So they stay in Topok, and move down to Azure, Arizona, not far from the Mexican border.
Hmm, I don't know if you pronounce it.
I told you, are you being Spanish, maybe?
More than a lot today.
More than like that.
But yeah, I found I pronounced Spanish names completely wrong when I went to Spain.
So yeah.
Anyway, yeah, I love this.
This is really good.
I'm really into it.
Something quite nice about being alone with somebody doing this sort of journey.
I think these are reading from a journal or a diary or something, or you know, paraphrased.
And yeah, it just just feels such fun to be coming along and experiencing some of these things.
Yeah, really good.
It's really good.
Windigo says, as you, I'm always surprised when I hear anything about Azure Arizona.
Mrs. Honeycomb served as their art teacher around the decade ago,
and I was able to visit occasionally.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Good, good comment.
Brian and Ohio says, history.
Good show.
I like the travel log style that gives us all the gritty detail.
I would remind people that right in the left wing violence has been a part of US capital.
It'll history since the founding of the Republic.
And it gives a link to Wikipedia article entitled Timeline of Island incidents in the United States capital,
which I went and read.
Yeah, it's pretty, pretty grim.
But yeah, not an uncommon thing.
First century is 1814.
Oh, they're quite a lot of them.
10, yeah.
8, and 9.
Anyway, using noise torch, a program for Linux that creates a virtual microphone that removes background sound,
something which I have seen.
People refer to on the MasterDons,
choosing about this in relation to HP or commenting that they were going to install it.
I too shall install it because I absolutely desperately need this.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, judging from death rays talk about it,
it does seem to do a pretty amazing job of filtering out all the junk.
But yeah, yeah, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just examining this one as well, I think.
Hmm.
So,
yesterday's only took him two years to record using some new harder.
And yeah, the why, how's in the wise of recording?
So, basically has a,
he's microphone,
it wasn't as microphone,
that was close in the problem.
It was its speakers on the laptops that he was using.
So, yep, he got a 0.64 glad he,
his worked.
And with a cheaper than,
and others might experience.
Yeah, my marks is just the keyboard as unusual.
So, I'll probably be given it away on foster
to somebody swapping for HP or show.
As you do.
And you do.
Indeed.
Yeah, good show.
It's interesting to, it's nice to hear Jesra for one thing.
Yeah, exactly.
Followed, yeah,
or his master dumb pulse,
which are essentially one HP or show after another.
If he would only be bothered to record him.
Yeah.
So, the following day we do with Ali,
Ali, Ali,
A, L, L, Y, A, 11, Y.
Yep.
Which I called numerous names I discovered in terms of
Gladys.
I preferred the word numerous names.
That one between the end and the end.
Yes.
Because I think it's cool.
But no.
It's a really good idea.
But it's just me wittering on about stuff to do with this thing.
And also throwing it in a little bit of bash just to
make your own if you really want to.
No, this was interesting because
when we had this discussion last month,
I was really interested to know how many words
would fall under that.
You know, the room for overlapped as a month, I thought.
Yes, yes indeed.
So, you know, that was partly my point,
which is, you know,
but nobody's actually doing that to be fair.
So, it's, yeah.
But I just a bit bothered by the fact that
they actually get written down to have them as
abbreviations in an editor,
which are then expanded for you.
It would be great.
I do that all the time,
but to have it had them actually written in text and stuff.
I find it a little bit jarring to my brain.
Okay.
We can solve all the problems in the world, Dave.
So, we will move on.
No, no, no, no.
You certainly shouldn't be worrying about my problems.
So, I uttered this very similar problem,
which you did.
God would probably use a Chromebook
simpler to, yeah.
I, yeah, this was a stranger.
I have to admit.
I uttered these knots agreeing with a lot of stuff here,
but then I stood back and realized
this was somebody's opinion.
So, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
It was, yeah, it was a, it was a,
it was a rambo, I thought.
But, yeah, it's an interesting, interesting view.
So, yeah.
Glad to exist in that problem.
Yeah.
I, I think, at the end,
Zenflor basically did a,
a dystopian future where AI occurs and stuff.
I, I don't see any evidence,
just just that,
even if we did have that,
you know,
people would be,
that it would come out that way,
because there's still,
economics involved in,
what would be the benefits of,
even feeding the masses.
You know, right now you see,
people,
they're,
hungry people in the world.
There is no incentive on anybody
to feed the masses unless the masses
are generating income to support the,
the,
yeah,
to support the economy, I guess.
Yeah.
Is it my turn?
Yeah, it must be my turn.
Is it,
just to read the comment?
Yeah, please.
It says Twitter.
Guy, who starts by saying,
I've never used Twitter,
then pronounced as a bank Twitter.
Says Twitter should respect the office of the president,
the presidency,
then when the president,
who they banned,
didn't respect out of the office,
or a truth,
or probably helpful,
or a constitution.
Gloats about massifying all those liberal employees,
while claiming not to be on the right.
I think he was the other show that,
the contained,
that was it?
Did I get that?
Yeah, I think so,
but,
no, it was for that.
Point, mind, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, synergy over SSH.
I did this show,
because I was,
it came up,
and we were short of shows,
but it was one that was on my,
on my back burner for a long time.
I,
who ages ago,
I had this one started,
so I thought,
I'd delve into the database,
and do a natural show.
Yeah,
I,
I don't even,
didn't even know what synergy was.
I don't really think I have a need for it,
but it's,
there would,
I would have done a work,
but that's a few years ago now.
But yeah,
I found it really interesting,
and realized that there was such technology around,
so it's good to,
good to understand and know about.
Yeah,
for example,
Dave hour,
I have an inside network and an external network,
so we have some Raspberry Pi's on the external network,
so if I wanted to have a monitor on one of those,
while still being inside mode on network,
I could use that keeper video mouse on that.
But physically somewhere remote,
but locally,
it's also a laugh,
if you're in an office,
and you set this up in someone's computer,
then you can just,
over to the edge of your screen,
and their mouse was all over the shop.
I went to a digital equipment course,
where we've got deck terms,
or something or other.
These were like MIPS,
MIPS work stations,
and we all sat at those things,
and there was some smart,
so and so who had worked out how to,
and they must have been really insecure,
but attached to any of the machines.
So they were,
and suddenly changing the background colours,
or, you know,
warping the mouse and all that sort of stuff.
I think they were found in the end.
They weren't kicked out,
but yeah.
Yeah, I know,
it's a temptation, I think.
Yes,
people will be childish, I guess?
Indeed.
I'll show the next one,
was, on Ver, however,
あり yourself a master done using pgp and key oxide
by Plato,
and we got a request today to extend the show notes,
which we did and we also linked to
the article.
Plato did an openswords.com
and the youtube video of the same,
and there's also now,
includes a transcript of the show.
So,
yeah,
yeah, which is all command. Excellent. Yes, that was the note I made to myself. Oh, this is
fantastic, but I didn't get to do as I was pouring around the house with my headphones on
and so I'm going to have to go back and write my own notes from it or something. So yeah,
you beat me to it, this is fantastic. Definitely something I'm going to do as soon as I can.
I just did this as I was going along and it's following the notes was absolutely
world perfect. So, excellent there. In the show, Claudio mentioned that it didn't
took him a long time to get a working, but I'm glad he has suffered the pain so we don't have to.
That's very generous of him as she is. Yeah, yeah, that's really, really helpful thing.
So, the following day, we had career changes that this is some guy on the internet is doing
exams to be a commercial driver. My thoughts on immediately jumped a smokey elbow, so
yes, yes. I found it quite fascinating actually. He did mention stuff about it on
Matrix and I said, what is CDL? And he said, oh yeah, sorry, but yeah, these three letter
abbreviations are sort of fairly really local, local to a big area, I know. Yeah, yeah,
need to really need to be spelled out a bit for us. I don't believe in that, that locality,
but yeah, I mean you can always look it out, which is what I did in the internet.
Yeah, it was a little driver from the context of the show, so that's right.
Yeah, I was just looking at the notes actually. But yeah, it was good. It was quite insightful
and some interesting factors that had never really considered. I'd hope you'd all
enclose your door. It's all a consideration, but an important thing as well. I never really
considered it. How not to get scammed by people? That's pretty poor suckers who, you know,
get a new job and then somebody does that scams you. Anyway, so the next day was first
sissed an in-job by Norris. That was good to have him back and it was basically how to
he transferred into IT got a job and transferred IT got a job and it was left to the book
a NFS issue and eventually found us in the weirdest ways. I like to listen to the show very good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I found it fascinating. It's so nice to hear about people's journeys to these things
and this one was good. I enjoyed it very much. Not nicely done. The NFS thing I've also been
bitten by, not that specific aspect of it, but it doesn't behave the way you would think it would.
And we were burned quite badly by it. My work is. So yeah, but I won't go into into detail,
but it's really good that I like these very much. I like the way he does his shows as well.
So yeah, good all around for me. Then we had a two-for-one deal. Some guy in the internet and
D&T do one of their shows on pretty much everything and anything that comes up. Lots of good
stuff there on Giz, Task Warrior, Radical, and the show notes are very detailed and gives you
links to all the stuff that they talk about. Yeah, it's a lot of work on into those notes.
Very impressive. Thank you. Because the prices of the Raspberry Pi is at the moment. They're very high
and it's ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. I have several here, so I bought before.
Things got bad and I hadn't got around to using much yet, but so I'm okay, but yeah, it's
dreadful. I'm dreadful and all the Raspberry Pi equivalents popping up, but I'm not necessarily
all that interesting. That's been triggered by this. Yeah, not good, not good. Not good.
Yeah, good, good show. And yeah, get NX. I've been hearing about that recently and
somebody who used it to manage the writing up for PhD thesis and found that it was the best way
to store all the images and that sort of thing for going with a written thesis. So yeah,
something I have to get into. It's on the infinite list of things I need to do. I haven't done yet.
Well, is there something like it as on our list for HPR or because we want to have a
get-free positive tree at the end of the day and the files themselves,
integrators so that you can do a get poll and then everything comes down.
There's not be something that we need to have a wee look at. Yep, yep, absolutely. So yeah,
it's something I shall be looking at when I get a moment. Very good show. And during this, I like
the format very much and they have a good dynamic. These tasty guys, they made me laugh a few times
as well with some of the things they were saying. So yeah, it's cool. Yeah, excellent. Following
day, we had a hook again, but a bookworm show an alternative to goodread and it's strange
hearing this one out because when I heard it first, it was in the middle of summer and I was working
out of the garden. But yeah, it's, I know, I've seen a lot of these goodreads, stuff come along
on the Fediverse in Macedon specifically, the hashtags. So it does actually work.
Yeah, I think I'm probably, I would have purchased the notes as usual and I noticed it and had a
quick look at it following one of the links and thinking, oh, that looks interesting. I haven't
done anything about it yet, but having heard the show now, I mean, I'm very much inclined to
dig deeper because it does look, does look pretty cool. And the last show of the year,
is that correct? Well, this is the last show of the, of the December, that was the bookworm.
Yeah, that was the last show of December, which is the last show of the year. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, exactly. So that's pretty much it's David. We're done. You've completed our assignment.
Not the left to do here. Oh, look, the cue. There's another year is just opened up.
Yep, yeah. Time to show now. Yes, please send it, feels. And
if you're only going to do one show, send it in in your birthday for your birthday,
in around your birthday whenever that is. So that we spread them out. There's no reason to
clump them all up at one space. It makes our life a lot better if every week,
even go now for the next month or two that there are a few shows battered in there because then
filling the slots is a lot easier to do. And you have to ask people if they have some
vacation time coming up to record some shows. So if you could just take half a day or something,
write down some show notes and record three or four shows, that would be absolutely excellent.
Just space them out over the year, spring, summer, autumn winter. That would really help us a lot.
Yeah, cool. Yeah, thank you. Yep, yep, yep. My, um, I shouldn't commit it to this, but I think
she's up for it. Um, I daughter is thinking of a series that she wants to answer. Oh, and she was
here making notes. Yes, today. Don't do that to me. They've done it. It's not a show unless it's on this
room. I know I told her that. I told her that that was very words, but she said, yeah, she was sitting
there, writing stuff in a notebook, bore it. So let's see, we shall see. I'll say that I mentioned it.
Any pressure at all, you know. Excellent. Um, okay. So let's have a look at our agenda.
There's one comment on one previous show. Yeah, can you do that please? Yes, indeed. It's from
Ron's review of Cobo, Libra, H2O, Edrick, Ereda, and Aaron Conca says, Cobo, Ereda's. I had a similar
dilemma when it comes to Ereda. My ideal device would have been, would have a six inch pocket
size backlit screen and run Linux. Seven inch Cobo was the best alternative I could find from this
decade. It served me well, so far. There's a great choice of free ebooks knocking around,
knocking about, and Calibra was finally posted to Python three happy days. Excellent. Yeah, good.
So let's get to know. So we've had three items of the mail list all for me. Nobody's
replied to them, so I'll ring them for a vision. Hi, everybody. If you have an understanding
2022, Ereda is ready to live there. If you have an outstanding 2022 New Year's resolution to
record a HPO, then this weekend will be a great time to record and submit. We're running a special
up to the end of December. Just record a HPR now and submit this and you're going into 20,
23, guilt free with your New Year's resolution covered for next year as well. By the time
people hear that, that offer will have expired. So the next was the New Year's show promotion
and a Boston podcast table. This was also sent out to the mailing list for the free
culture podcasts. Hi, all, so good news from Boston. The free culture podcast will be
we'll have a table on the booth on the fourth and fifth of February 2023 in Brussels. This means
we will be publishing your podcast to the 5,000 attendees that will be visiting during the event.
We could do with some help as we are only expecting to get one offered one day and instead we got
both. So if you are going to Boston, then please consider helping us out for a time, even a
hour will allow us to go and get some lunch. Your podcast details together with a small summary
will be printed on flyers that we're handing out. If you have any swag or stickers that you want
us to hand out, then please contact me off list and we'll arrange shipping. Also, thanks to those
who promoted the New Year's show. I'm looking forward to chatting with you all. Happy holidays.
And we have a call for show open. Please fill up the slots for the coming week. And if you
don't have some shows, then please allocate some time over the Christmas holidays or whatever
holidays you're taking to a court. So that will be ideal. Good. So Dave, do you want to tell us about
all the shows on HPR? Well, we're recording this few days before the end of the month.
And the list I'm keeping of progress says that for December 23 shows left. Well that is
three days. I'm doing a rate of 10 a day. I might do 13 on the second day. So we're very close to
it to finishing. So I will update the table. I will update the table by the time that notes become
relevant. But by the Monday that they're the shows released. So yeah, so getting that very
very close to being finished. Excellent. And I've just started transcribing all the shows starting a show
one and getting a transcript for each of the shows done with the whisperer whisperer application
freely but open source software from OpenAI. There you go. Yeah, it's actually quite good. It's
plateau comes out as CLA space on the number two. But okay, fine. Yeah, it's definitely going to be
thrown by unusual words. I mean, yeah, it's not going to have a dictionary that includes
cloud two. The correct spelling of little I think was was one I heard. Yeah. The supermarket.
But yeah, yeah, that's great. That's great. We need to debate exactly how we're going to
manage the transcripts and stuff. But we're already doing that to on matrix that the discussion.
So we're pretty close to having a conclusion, I think. So good. Now the final AOB thing is
the tradition which we seem to skip last year. I don't know where we list everybody who's
done a show in the past year and just put we have in the past read them out. I don't know if
you want to do that list. I think we should take one line each. Well, I've put it into lines
of same length so that we could do that too much, much hassle. So yeah, shall I start? Please do.
Okay, so thanks to a hooker Andrew Conway, just 72, be easy, bezer, Benny, binasi, black colonel,
Brian in Ohio. And thank you to Carl, CCHids.net team, Celeste, Claudio Miranda, Daniel Pearson's,
Dave Morris, Delta Ray, D&T, and Falky. Cool. Thanks also to HyperNike. I think that's
what I said. Honky Magoo, HP R volunteers. I'm at Susanna. You should be aware of it. She's a
really bad button. I hope I got that. I never in a room button button. Yeah, I'm close but not there.
General JWP Ken Fallen. Thank you, King Hesie and Cartou.
And our thanks go out to Nightwise, Lee, Lerkin, Brian, mode 7, Mikyotroni,
monochromic, let's say Linux and los, Mr. X, Norist, one of Spoons.
Yeah, thanks also to Operator, Paul J, Poke, Row, Roon. We can't just be that one. Sarah,
some guy on the internet, stash AF, tack off 751 and Tim Timmy. And the last line is Tony Hughes,
Trae, Trumpadjan, Tukotolotol, Windigo, and Zen Flotor to thank you all. Yes, thanks to. Oh, that's
great. It's good list 51. People have contributed so it's one week. Yeah, it's a,
but it's a ratio of 1 to 5 for 250 shows, 260 shows. I would like to see that number at 260.
It's never going to be 260, but I'd like to double that by next year. Yes, so if you can do a show
and also try and get somebody else to submit a show, just one, get their dip their toe in,
that will be excellent. So submit a show and press gang somebody to doing a lot of the show that will be awesome.
Yes, yes. I met my new neighbors the other day. They had a parcel delivered to me instead of
to them and I just got chatting to them and I said, oh, we do a podcast. You might like to know about it.
It might be, he's got young kids, so they might be interested in listening and or contributing.
No promises, of course, but you know, spreads the word when one can. Absolutely.
Okay, folks, if you've got chills, send them in. Season's greetings to everybody. I hope you have
had a good year and hope you have an even better near next year. And with that, Dave, thank you very much.
